Himalayan balsam causes a number of problems for our native flora; its height and density means it outcompetes native species for light, space and nutrients - but now a solution is showing promise in Yorkshire: a rust fungus could provide a way to curb the spread of this destructive weed.

This thread explains why.

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
